mailcap was added back when the image was using centOS to add
/etc/mime.types.
See #599
Later, the package registry moved to Ubuntu LTS and mailcap was
replaced by mime-support which also installs mailcap.
Now mime-support is a transitional package and we can replace it with
media-types, to only install the file (/etc/mime.types) that we need.
The issue with mailcap is the large dependency tree and the dependency
on perl, by replacing mime-support with media-types we can reduce the
image size.
